HD 153261 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation for a star in the southern constellation of Ara. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.137,[2] placing it near the threshold of naked eye visibility. According to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, it can be viewed from dark suburban or rural skies. Based upon an annual parallax shift of just 2.32 mas,[1] it is located at a distance of around 1,400 light-years (430 parsecs) from Earth.

This star has been catalogued with a stellar classification of B1 V:ne[3] or B2 IVne,[4] indicating that it is either a main sequence or a subgiant star. The 'n' indicates a nebulous spectrum created by the Doppler shift-broadened absorption lines from a rapid rotation, while the 'e' means this is a Be star, with the spectrum showing emission lines from hot, circumstellar gas. HD 153261 display some variability with an amplitude of 0.090 in magnitude, and is a suspected spectroscopic binary.[9]

HD 153261 is a large star with over ten[4] times the Sun's mass and around 4.5[6] the radius of the Sun. It shines with more than 11,000[7] times the brightness of the Sun, with this energy being radiated into space at an effective temperature of 21,150 K.[7] At this heat, it glows with the blue-white hue of a B-type star.[10]
